Weekend Productivity

05/11/15

So, it appears that both my new sleep schedule and my regained productive capacity do not yet apply to weekends. I woke up three hours later both days and had little motivation to be any form of productive.

Interestingly enough, however, I maintained the ability to go to sleep at 1900 each day (or at least lay in bed until I fell asleep) and also woke up only a little late this morning (at 0340).

There are multiple possibilities as to why I had trouble being productive this past weekend:

• I needed to recover from a 61.5 hour work-week the week before (spread across six days)
• I have ingrained a habit of weekend laziness that I have to undo
• This was the first weekend without plans in a long, long time

I'm inclined to believe it's a bit of all of them. The long work week shouldn't happen again, or at least not until I get sick again, which hopefully won't happen for a long, long time. The second is more difficult, but like at work, it may just be a matter of starting to do work when I don't feel like it to activate my energy.

The third thing may be the biggest contributor. Last weekend I was recovering from being sick and only had one day. The weekend before I went to Phoenix, and got sick, and the weekend before... something happened? I don't remember. This is why I should be better at populating my diary.

I just need to keep busy/free weekends in mind for energy tracking purposes, I think.
